Massage Techniques

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage is a Swedish-based massage combined with a variety of modalities such as Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Lomi Lomi Massage and Acupressure. A combination of soft tissue manipulations including long strokes, kneading, compression, rocking and deep spiraling movements are used to relax and rejuvenate you. Therapeutic Massage can range from light and gentle to firm and deep, depending on the patient’s needs.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the superficial layer of muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience persistent pain, engage in rigorous physical activity (such as athletes) or for patients who have sustained physical injury. Not to be confused with “Deep Pressure” Massage, Deep Tissue is used to treat musculoskeletal disorders and complaints and employs a dedicated set of techniques and strokes to reduce pain.

Medical Massage

Medical Massage focuses treatment on improving the specific condition a patient may present. A targeted treatment protocol, which may include a variety of modalities, is utilized with the intent to improve a patient’s condition that has been diagnosed by a physician. This may include conditions such as sciatica, headache, or neck pain.
